Debut album from Split Cranium, the new band featuring Aaron Turner (ISIS) and Jussi Lehtisalo (CIRCLE). Crusty traditionalist hardcore by way Finland and Vashon Island. Live fast, die young and leave a good-looking corpse? How about play fast, die old and leave the next round of stiffs wondering what the s*** their crusty old grandpop was up to back in the economically vibrant 20-teens, when liquid gold flowed down from Finland's Kemi River and crisp American sawbucks grew on trees? If Split Cranium had a manifesto--which they don't--they might at least consider endorsing that one, whatever it was, before giving us all the finger and getting on with it.
